I'm going to have to go with real time because i don't want to just sit there pressing the same button over and over just selecting moves i'd much rather be pulling off the moves myself.

I think each is good in its own respect.With games like FF and GS where the turn based system rocks everything's socks off.But with games like KOTOR, real time pwns also.It's all a matter of opinion. Personally, I prefer real time, it's just so much more...real. Haha, that's the only way I can really put it into words.

I prefer real time(not that I like kingdom hearts) due to the fact that healing, casting, summoning...etc takes time and not instant. Also brings the thrill of losing in one blow XD.

real time because I don't like to wait at all and would like to do my move rather then to choose it when fighting.

most definately turn based, it gives one time to think out their moves without being pressured to start button mashing, things also happen to fast in real-rime (ok maybe this isnt for everyone, i have pretty bad-eyesight movement wise which makes it hard for me to see fast moving objects) so overall for myself itd be Turn-based

Both real time and turn based have their advantages and their disadvantages. Real time is a lot faster and it is clear what is on the feild, the bad thing is if you are afflicted with poison or something, or if you get killed, there is less time to escape from your enemy. In turn based games there is time to heal, but it is slow and the enemy can have multiple turns. Either way Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy are still great games.

Real time, all the way. The turn-based was fine back in the day, but I no longer have fun with 'em.

I prefer turn-based especially FF10 since it allows us more time to think good strategies and it is more original.

Real Time Rocks. You can dodge attacks and do combos.
